I’ve always been fascinated by how our minds influence what we eat why we crave certain foods, how emotions shape our diets, and even the way marketing tricks us into unhealthy choices. With a background in psychology and a curiosity about nutrition, I’m looking for creative ways to dig deeper into this intersection.
Has anyone experimented with tracking not just what they eat, but why they eat it? Maybe journaling moods alongside meals or analyzing how stress impacts food choices? I’d love to hear if you’ve found patterns or strategies that help make healthier decisions feel more intuitive.
Also, if there are books, podcasts, or studies that blend psychology and nutrition in unexpected ways, I’m all ears. Even smaller things, like how plating food affects satisfaction or the role of habit loops, could be interesting to explore. What’s worked or surprised you?
Oh my stars, YES! I once color-coded my food diary with EMOTIONS turns out heartbreak tastes like an entire pint of rocky road. dramatic sigh The mind is a WILD buffet!
Oh great, another self-improvement project doomed to fail like all the others. Sure, track your feelings with your kale won’t stop you from stress-eating ice cream at 2am.
Oh PLEASE, spare me the “kale is life” nonsense! Nothing beats greasy pizza and cold beer – THAT’S real self-care, not some sad bowl of leaves! chugs beer aggressively
